I've been inactive for sometime, but this is long overdue... Crypto needs education and not the nonsense spewing moon boys... I too have evolved over the years and hope this will help others evolve too...

Here I am again. This is what I found so Far using the picture posted above: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F05%2F15%2Fblobf2f05416f947953a.jpeg&t=665&c=OUKtUUMNLSDXBg) Either or I am missing something, or it is about cracking the password.

That's weird. Tried to keep the puzzle simple and see if there's interest to continue them. It shouldn't give any error, but I haven't tried extracting it on Windows though.
Could someone confirm it using Linux?

Sorry, my LinuxVM is out of reach as I am travelling. I installed the program fresh with latest JVM (I hadn’t it installed at all actually).

I actually tried the OpenStego program last night with windows and I got a java error but I didn't have time to troubleshoot as I was playing Santa. I don't think my brain is working very quickly these days because even after seeing Cyrus' post saying the layout was deliberate and fillippone's post spelling it out precisely and actually attempting to use the OpenStego program, I only made the connection with the OpenStego program when I woke up this morning. I tried some online programs to decrypt the image as well without a password but they were able to find a message or said a password was required. I wish I had more time now but we have a lot of visiting to do yet today. Good luck everyone!
Merry Christmas!!

I had the very same Java error: you just have to download and install the JVM for windows. Once you do that, it works smoothly. Well… not enough smoothly, apparently!

The words underneath the image were meant to look that way. But I assure you every word was deliberate. Feel free to quote me on that! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) So I guess this was one of those smart puzzles from you, but you overestimated our brain capacity to read between the lines this time... I will engage in decrypting your hidden message only if it contains hidden private key for wallet address with loaded free Bitcoin new year gift. It's holiday season after all and I think that you tortured us enough this year ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Crăciun Fericit! Sărbători fericite!

Using a series of online tool all give me some error message like this one: Error in encoding.
The input file is either of an unsupported type, or the payload is too large to be contained in the image.
Use the "just find capacity..." option, which estimates the total size available for the payload.
Tried to resuscitate my Google Cloud Account to setup a Linux VM..but stopped when asked too much details.

A solid start and setting a tantalising expectation of what to expect in subsequent episodes. Very much looking forward to a deep-dive of the forum's history and culture. Only slight snag I noticed was that either DdmrDdmr was so helpful that they needed crediting twice, or it got duplicated accidentally. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) //EDIT: Oh, and the link in the description to the "BitcoinTalk thread" doesn't actually link to a thread yet. //DOUBLE_EDIT: Someone's fast, heh.

Could someone confirm it using Linux?
Same result. OpenStego keeps asking for a password on Ubuntu 20.10. I also tried embedding a message without password on Linux and extracting it on Windows and it worked fine.

It was so good that I wanted it to be at least a 30-minute video [hopefully, it quickly moves out of the experimental stage/phase and it becomes a regular thing] ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'm either going to get fired or get another episode aired by New Year's Eve! ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I hope it's the latter one...

@Cyrus Can you add the link to the first episode in your OP so that it becomes visible as soon as someone opens the thread? I see that it's not a long one, so I will take a look at it in a few minutes while on my way to the barber shop. I will post me feedback later.
Edit: I found a few inconsistencies in the video. Is it Bitcoin Talk Show or Bitcointalk Show? The subtitles at the beginning of the episode say BitcoinTalkShow. But then, at 0:13 into the video, Bitcoin Talk Show is displayed on the screen. Finally, at 5:50, when the first episode ends, we can see bitcointalk show popping up. It's not that important, but it's just something I noticed. Maybe it was done intentionally. Overall, I liked the first pilot episode and looking forward to the next one.

Cyrus you sneaky fella...!!! I got the twitter notification for your tweet and saw the image and tried to find any thing on YouTube channel there was nothing.... so I thought this might just be a teaser v2.0. To be honest I didn't read the description "Someone said it might have something to do with steganography." Any way just watched the first episode and its awesome... excellent opening I would say and loved the way you highlighted our favorite WO thread. At first I thought I should take a toilet break and watch it in privacy.... but then i settled for this. How do you rate my setup to watch the first Episode? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F7DabWfb.png&t=665&c=GOpIzer742vGcw) Who's this? I mean someone official related to Bitcointalk show? or Cyrus?

How do you rate my setup to watch the first Episode? Not bad, but you tilted the monitor too much. Straighten it up a bit. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Who's this? I mean someone official related to Bitcointalk show? or Cyrus? We don't know yet. He said in the video that he is a Bitcoin ninja and that he will reveal who he is in the upcoming episodes. We will have to wait. Maybe it's Satoshi's son. Satoshi Jr or LilSat.

Is it TryNinja? Anyway, I loved the second video so much that I'm not even going to nitpick the aspects of it that I didn't like, because they're outweighed so much by my liking of it that it would kill the buzz. I had to chuckle that signature campaigns were mentioned, and for a minute there I nearly slapped my head, anticipating that it might draw in a ton of people intrigued by the idea of getting paid to post--despite the fact that it was noted that campaigns are thought to be responsible for the spam problem. However, I suppose it remains to be seen how many people actually see the video. At the time I watched it (about 3 minutes ago) it had 120 views. And dang: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fh4MA0wX.png&t=665&c=lv8PsCAgEti5Hg) I's internetz famous!! If only for a millisecond. And I think that's the first time I've seen the Chipmixer signature as it's displayed to people who don't have sigs ignored. Edit: Cyrus = Ninja
Ah. Well that would make sense given Cyrus's position with the forum. Guess I hadn't paid attention to that custom title.
